An Enterprising Baby.

Little Earl, the youngest son of
Mr.. George Gold, created something
of sensation in the neighborhood of
his home on Seventh street yesterday
afternoon. He is not vet two years
old and had been playing in the yard
for some time in a contented man
ner. Finally, however, his bright
eyes observed that the gate had been
left open and he Immediately was
seized with an ambition to see for
himself what was going on down
town and at once started. He wan
dered on down Seventh street, down
Ohio, crossed the street at
the corner of Second and Ohio
and continued on his journey down
Second street without any serious in
terruption save several falls which
left his apron in a dilapidated condi-
ton and his sun bonnet pretty well
touzled over his curly head. A
daughter of Mr.. 5. N. Gold, who
to be coming along Second
street espied the young traveller and
at once recognizing him, stopped him
and asked him where he was going,
to which he replied, "to see the Too
Too J" meaning the locomotive. He
was at once taken home, where he had
been missed and where for thee hours
B frantic search by the entire neigh
borhood had taken place. 1t is safe
TO say that the next time Earl wishes
TO see the "Too! Tool" he will have
older company.

After The Boy.

Mr.. John Mockler, of St. Louis,
arrived from that city this morning,
on behalf of his friend, Sergeant
Ryan, of the Central police station.
Ryan's son, Martin, a lad of about Is
years, precocious as Young America
goes nowadays, was working in the
railroad shops down there, and having
received his money the other day,
took notion to see more of the world.
He took train to Sedalia, and ar
rived here yesterday morning. The
telegraph travels with greater rapidity
than does railway, and when young
Ryan landed at our depot, he was
taken in charge by a couple
of police officers, who did
so, in obedience to tel
egram from Sergeant Ryan, the
father. He was placed in the Gala
bose and remained there last night
and to-day. Mr.. Mockler will leave
tonight on the midnight train with
his charge for st. Louis.
The youth Is exceedingly bright for
his years and proficient in the Ian
guage of the times. He was on bis
way to Kansas City when the spec
lers" gathered him in, yesterday. Mr..
Mocker's father stated that Martins
father would have come for the boy
but being 250-pounder and
in foot race, the lad could
easily give him the slip, ON occasion.
Mockler will, no doubt, manage to
convoy his charge in safety to the
Future Great, when he makes the trip
tonight.

A CRASH In GLASS.
The Havoc Created by a Runa-
way Horse and a Panic
Stricken Man.

Just as the noon bells were ringing
to-day, a remarkable accident occurred
at the corner of Second and Ohio
streets, in which a scared horse, a
frightened man and a heavy plate
glass show window were conspicuous
factors. 1t appears that George
Hogan, driver of express wagon %,
left his mare standing on the east side
of Ohio street, near David's corner,
and stepped inside the building for
an instant. Something frightened the
animal, and she dashed diagonally
across the street to Blair's corner.
Standing in front of the window was
I. III. Calls. of Hughesville, who
quickly recognized that he
was in a dangerous locality. The
horse kept coming toward him, and
about the time that one of the shafts
struck the plate of glass. Calls made
a leap backward, and amid shattered
glass and mashed hats, was rescued
on the inside Of the store at about the
same second that the crowd stopped
the mare in her mad career.
The animal was not hurt. Calls
had a few cuts on his hands, and the
window-pane was completely ruined.
The exciting episode drew a large
crowd, which. for a time, was not
certain whether there was fire, a
ist-fght or a frolic.

Pleaded Guilty.

In Justice Fishers court this morn
ing, Alex. Rutledge, stable boss for
Capt. Stephans at the new reservoir
work on Flat Creek, was up on COM
plant of Mrs. Nettie Sheets for as
sault and battery committed upon her
sen, Albert, last Sunday. Their e
were several witnesses summoned on
both sides, but the justice examined
only Rutledge and young Sheets.
The former pleaded guilty to the
assault.
1t was developed from the testi-
mony that Sheets and a couple of
companions went down to the new
works and that there is a grove of
trees in the locality. which it is de-
sired to protect. Sheets was about
to hitch the animal be rode, to one of
the trees, and Rutledge, who had
orders to be mindful of dam
age to the grove, warned Sheets
away. The latter retorted with
abusive and profane language, and
the old man, coolly gathered in the
young man, famed him with loose
board for awhile, and then let him
depart, sorer and wiser than he came
thither.
Rutledge Was fined $2.5 and costs,
all amounting to about S13, which he
paid. Sheets, who has been a street
car driver for Capt. Stevens, has been
discharged from his position.

Old-Time Headgear Of Women

The present denunciation OF the
headoear of women recalls one OF the
stories of the Huguenots in 1881 A
distinguished Huguenot preacher OF
Montauban, NJ chel Berault, denounced
from his pulpit the fantastic and CON
spicuous headdress of women, which
was made on frame of wire in order
to produce greater effect, The ladies
would not give up the fashion, and
were excluded from the Lord supper
in consequence In the midst of the
trouble the family OF Duplessls Mornay
arrived at Montauban. Nine. Mornay
was fashionable, pious and obstinate.
Berault refused TO receive her at the
communion service, and demanded that
she should remove her hair. She
refused. She had worn the same style
of head-dress for fifteen years, and in
the chief churches of Germany, Eng
land and the Netherlands. and she
would not change it. The Bible said
nothing against wire; and. moreover.
it Was dangerous for the pastor to teach
the commandments of men for doc
trines. The minister also was obsti-
nate and would not have her Az the
communion, so the lady went to town
three miles off, and kept her Easter
where the Huguenot minister did not
think that the fashion of headgear was
an essential of religion. In another
case, NJ. de Ragier had controversy
the high-born, pious Nine. de Lamy on
the subject of the farthngale, or hoop
skirt. The lady valiantly defended her
rights, but was forced at last TO yield.
and the farthingale disappeared for a
time These anecdotes are told in
Professor Bairds The Huguenots and
Henry of Navarro.
